Fixed a bug, where the GL context was not being activated with _set_current()

as _set_current() tested for visibility of the window on the screen.

Improved memory management by:
1) Allocating small (around 3MB) vertex buffers to be sent to the GPU.
2) Passing the small vertex buffers to the GPU as quickly as possible.

A bit of copy / paste refactoring into common functions.
